The phase behavior of methane, ethane, and propane in n-heptane and toluene solvents has been studied for a range of temperatures from 0 to -100/sup 0/F and pressures from 100 to 1600 psia. Gas chromatographic retention data were used to calculate the vapor-liquid equilibrium constants. It was necessary to modify a chromatographic technique in order to accurately determine the phase behavior of methane. The K-values found in this experimental work are plotted and tabulated. A favorable comparison was found between this experimental work and other published data. (28 refs.)
